Include Python Script with ArcObjects Addin

Question

I'm building addin for 10.1 and need a method (ConvertToMSD) that's only available in ArcPY. I've figured out out how to execute a python script from an ArcObjects addin:

Calling arcpy/python from .NET?

Now I want to figure out how to include that Python script within in build addin. If it's not included in the addin then I have to tell the user to download the Python script and go drop it in folder x/y/z which isn't very user friendly.

Is this possible?

Any reason my answer to your previous question is not satisfactory? — blah238, Jan 23 '13 at 06:17
In Step 1 above, how do you add your python script in the .net project? I'm looking to compile a .net add-in with a custom toolbox in the addin folder. — , Aug 16 '13 at 00:55

Add your python script in .net project
right click on the script and open properties
set Copy to output directory = Copy always

Now after build your project, you will get your script file in the *.exriAddin file's install folder and when you will install your add-in, you will be able to get it in the Esri's add-in assembly folder
